Location and Room	Gallery Room, Winslow Centre

MEETING ITEMS AND MINUTES

INTRODUCTION
6:10-6:15	Acknowledgement of territories Review of agenda
TALK TO ME 5.0 – GLENEAGLE
6:15-6:30	Anne Youdell and Charles Lee from Gleneagle Secondary spoke about their Talk to Me 5.0 event. Goals of the event were: – To help end the stigma around mental health and illness – Benefit the Canadian Mental Health Association School-planned event available to community Guest speakers and a student speaker presented at the event
MENTAL HEALTH PRESENTATION
6:30-7:20	Anna Lemmo and Rachel French delivered a presentation they intend to show to schools on mental health. Goals: – Mental Health Literacy – Increasing coping skills – Accessibility to help in the community Stigma Busters: – Language (expand people’s vocabulary to use right and respectful language) – Educate Yourself (basic understanding of mental illnesses) – Be Kind (be available, show compassion) – Listen and Ask (don’t need to know answers, invite them into a conversation) Differences between mental health, mental wellness, mental health problems, mental distress, and mental illness Brain Health = Mental Health “Healthy Mind Platter” – Focus time: when we closely focus on tasks in a goal-orientated way, taking on challenges that make deep connections in the brain – Play time: Allow ourselves to be spontaneous or creative, playfully enjoying novel experiences, which helps make new connections in the brain – Connecting: Connect with other people, ideally in person, or take time to appreciate our connection to the natural world around us, richly activating the brain’s relational circuitry – Physical: Move our bodies, aerobically if possible, which strengthens the brain in many ways – Time in: Internal reflection, focusing on sensations, images, feelings and thought, heling to better integrate the brain – Downtime: we are non-focused, without any specific goal, and let our mind wander or simply relax, which helps our brain recharge – Sleep time: give the brain the rest it needs to consolidate learning and recover from the experiences of the day Table discussions – how large are the portions on your mental health platter?
DISCUSSION
7:20-7:45	How do we create conversation around positive mental health/stigma/common language? How to bring this back to schools? – Event with students from all over the district – connect groups that are doing this kind of work – bring awareness – Followed by in-school seminars with grades or in-class stuff (e.g spoken word) – Timing is key! – Student-run would hold more appeal – Incorporate in to school culture (e.g Centennial musicals – art programs) – This increases engagement as well – Don’t necessarily tag it as “mental health” – collaborate – Talk about it with creative expression – Showcase coping strategies Questions to think about: What are some ways you can be a little bit kinder/decrease the stigma around mental illness/improve your own mental health/talk about this more? How can you “ride the wave”? (Deal with mental stressors and become stronger)
